On and Off the Needles

First things first: Mason says thank you for all your wonderful comments on his post. He had no idea you all would enjoy it so much. And he’s rather pleased (or as pleased as a cat gets) that he met so many other dogs and cats of the knitblog community. Of course, from my perspective, the last thing that cat needed was to have people telling him how great he is. There will be no living with him now, you know.

To satisfy your curiosity about Hypotoneuse, I thought you might enjoy seeing some blocking photos.

I’ve got a photo shoot planned for this weekend at a surprise location so you’ll just have to wait until then to see Dale modeling the ManLace. Trust me, though, it’s quite nice. And if you thought it matched Mason’s eyes, well, wait until you see it on my man.

And what’s on the needles now, you ask?

Ruffles from Scarf Style for Hannah. I’m using my handspun. The pattern is boring as hell but the handspun is wonderful and Hannah thinks it’s funky. I’ve got a long way to go but I’m anxious to finish so I can start Knitting Unto Others.

Ruffles is indeed a very good choice for handpsun too I think. It is funky and different, but allows the handspun to shine! Hmmm… I wonder if I have enough handspun of anything to knit that withat… I see a stash dive in the near future…

I love the manlace in that understated color. I think the geometry of the pattern is what makes it more masculine, whereas “feminine” patterns are more freeform. Anyway, like everyone I’m looking forward to the pictures!

I love the ManLace! Actually the knitting is wonderful but I gotta say I LOVE the whole idea of ManLace…I love it! Oh and the Ruffles pattern is so incredibly f***g boring but that handspun is so incredibly gorgeous Carole! Wow.
